Q&A

The Henry® Youth Lever-Action Rimfire Rifle is a fast handling .22 rifle, with a slightly shorter barrel and stock to accommodate youth or shooters of smaller stature. It's perfect for hunting small game, plinking, or firearms training. The receiver has a solid top with side ejection and a 3/8" groove for mounting scope. There is no loading port on the side of the receiver as ammunition is loaded directly into the tubular magazine from the top. Henry utilizes an internal transfer bar safety that prevents hammer contact with the firing pin unless the trigger is pulled. The rifle cannot fire from being dropped onto the hammer, nor will it accidently fire if the shooter's thumb slips from the hammer while cocking. (There is no manual cross-bolt safety or traditional half-cock notch for a safety.) The trigger pull is crisp and clean, allowing for fine accuracy. A fully adjustable buckhorn-style rear sight and a brass bead front sight allow precise shot placement on small targets. The Henry Youth Lever-Action Rimfire Rifle is an attractive firearm, with an American walnut stock and fore-end. The barrel and receiver are blued. The lines of the Henry rifle are traditionally American, as well as its design and function. Made in USA.

Small gun, real handy!These, IMO, are handier for woods walking than the normal H001 adult. The stock is shorter, the barrel is shorter, and it weighs 3/4 of a pound less (this weighs 4.5 pounds). The length of pull is not real short like other company's 'youth' guns, so adults can use it just fine (13.0 inches). Some savvy people with adult H001 guns will go online and try to swap stocks with someone for one of these.
Like most all Henrys the fit and finish on mine (bought at BP) is very nice, functions well, a joy to shoot. Henry customer service is the finest of any large American gun company in history. But I never needed it on my two Henrys.
I went the other way on my 22 magnum Henry lever, and got the long 24" barrel. That long barrel quiets the magnum noise down a lot!

Perfect compact lever action!I bought the Henry Youth model as to have a quick to shoulder go to gun for dispatching the menace bunnies in and around my yard. I have been taking the little furry buggers out with a high power air rifle but wanted something a little better. I found it!
I was hopeful that the 22 short ammo would be quiet enough for my suburban neighborhood and sure enough it is. Its actually quieter than my "suppressed" airgun so its a total win.
The build quality is outstanding and the lever is smooth as silk. Right out of the box i was hitting 1 inch groups at 20 yds. I shot most every brand and type of ammo and it ate through it without a problem, misfire, misfeed or any cycling issue. Great job Henry and thanks for building it in the USA!

Perfect fitMy wife was wanting a lever action to add to her 22 collection. She first looked at the full size Henry but it was awkward for her to hold steady. When the salesperson handed her the youth size it was a perfect fit (she is 5'3.).
It has very smooth action and is surprisingly accurate, which I didn't expect in the smaller frame. It is very easy to load the tube and she had zero firing issues in the first 100 rounds.
Highly recommend for a smaller sized person.

will not stabilize standard velocity ammo!!I bought a 22LR youth model two years ago and it shoots really good. i was very happy with it until I tried standard velocity ammo in it. I had trouble finding ammo and found some standard velocity. 1050 fps as compared to high velocity 1250 fps. The high velocity shot very good. 1" groups at 50 yards with a 2-7x32mm scope from a bench rest. When I tried to shoot the standard velocity ammo (good brand name) I had trouble keeping the shots on the target face!!! ( 8-1/2 x 11 inch paper) I couldn't believe it!! I got a friend of mine I work with who also owns a Henry Golden Boy and had him try the same ammo in his rifle. The same thing happened!! His Henry wouldn't stabilize the standard velocity ammo!! Both of our rifles shot so bad at 50 yards that we were lucky to get 6 or 7 shots out of 10 to actually hit a 8-1/2 x 11 inch paper target!! I contacted the ammo maker and told them the lot number of the boxes of their ammo we were using and they tested it in their rifles and it shot ok!! They did not use a Henry rifle though. They were using a bolt action.
I like the Henry rifle a lot, but I will only give it a 3 star. I think Henry needs to check this out!!! I can't believe they won't stabilize standard velocity ammo!!

Cool ButThe gun was pretty nice when I got it, when I went to shoot it a couple weeks later it didn't shoot and it was missing a lever and a spring. Sent it back and they fixed it with in about a month. Good customer service but kinda disappointed they don't test their products before being sent to retailers.

Quick-handling carbineI bought the Henry H001Y lever-action youth rifle after enjoying a H001 for a year and needing a second rifle because I shoot everyday. If anything, the "youth" gun seems more accurate than the classic Henry .22. It was an absolute "tack driver" right out of the box. The American walnut wood is luxurious and I've outfitted the gun with Hi-Viz fiber optic front and rear sights for twilight plinking. As a small-framed person I really enjoy my two compact, quick-handling Henry lever carbines! In addition, the purchasing experience at the Manteca, CA Bass Pro store including all the California and Federal paperwork went smoothly.

Should work for all 5 of the grandsonsI purchased this rifle for my 5 grandsons to use. The oldest, 13, has been doing a lot of plinkin' with it. It is accurate, action works magnificantly and he loves to shoot it. I told him he gets to break it in for the 9, 8, 5 and 2 year-old. I have no doubt that the quality is there to last for all five. Great product.

Henry Lever 22 YouthThis truly an excellant Firearm. The cost is surprisingly low for the quality. I'm considering the adult version as well.
